This summer, I visited Cramond Island in Edinburgh for the first time, on the hottest day of the year, which was absolutely fascinating. Cramond Island is about a third of a mile long and belongs to the Dalmeny Estate. Cramond Island is tidal and is accessible via the causeway which takes about fifteen minutes or so on foot. Please ensure you check the safe crossing times before you go, as people have got trapped on the island in the past and the tide comes in fast. There is a board you can consult at the start of the causeway.
The beaches are lovely to visit and there's a wide variety of wildlife and wild flowers on the island. The old gun placements and WWII military fortifications are dotted around the island and well worth exploring.
